•What did I think of this book?
I thought this was a good book. The writing style is different. None of the characters are likable. Towards the end, you understand.. I almost gave up on this because rich people problems drove me nuts. GREED is what I would have called this. Honestly, the ending was great it was worth finishing.

That twist ending was dumb and pissed me off. There were no hints, which makes me mad. This all went downhill once I learned she killed the dogs.Graphic: Gaslighting, Injury/Injury detail, Suicidal thoughts, Alcohol, Addiction, Alcoholism, Animal death, Fire/Fire injury, and Toxic relationship

The characters are very human, choosing to burn down the island, but are also soft, especially when Cadence's recovery is shown.Overall, I was absolutely delighted with this novel and it's tantalizing plot of mystery and prejudice, sometimes slightly macabre.
